M42

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

And here is this season's obligatory M42.
3hrs and 20min of data, not including the 10sec and 30sec subs I took for the core.
Sadly the seeing has been atrocious so the stars in the Trap aren't as nice as I would have liked them.
Scope - ED127
Camera - CDS1100D
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3.

Actually a pretty good image Jeanette, love the whispy detail in the outer part of the nebula. Good work.

[acropolite (Phil)]

Nice work JJJ, I'd be very happy getting that result.

Nicely shooted and processed JJJ.

I'd love to see what you can come up with in good seeing conditions, that is amazing

[LightningNZ (Cam)]

Sharp given the conditions. Great colour and processing

[RickS (Rick)]

A very nice M42, JJJ! Colours are great and details are good too despite seeing. The only slight negative is the sharp edge of big blue halo at the bottom right.
